Re the Admin offer - I'll have to knock that back I'm afraid. ;)

If no-one comes up with anything in the next couple of days - I'll have another look at it for you.  :mryellow:

I gave HighSlide a miss, but you can try this one: ;)

[spoiler][code linenumbers=false]<script type="text/javascript">

function toggleMe(a){
  var e=document.getElementById(a);
  if(!e)return true;
  if(e.style.display=="none"){
    e.style.display="block"
  } else {
    e.style.display="none"
  }
  return true;
}

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. We insist on political leaders of integrity who will stand on principles and abide by the Constitution that our forefathers set forth. Compelled to establish no alliances with one political party we will strive to locate representatives who respect the belief of their fellow citizens and represent the will of the People. It is our unending resolve to bring back the philosophy of the power of the People and limitation of the government. We will pursue the removal of any elected official who fails to honor their oath to support, defend, and bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States.

<strong>BLAIR COUNTY TEA PARTY ORGANIZATION DEMANDS</strong>
<br /><br />

Stop massive spending of borrowed/printed money. Avoid increasing the debt to foreign countries and to our children/grandchildren. Reverse the rapid slide toward socialism and away from free enterprise and individual initiative. Constitutional amendment setting term limits for House and Senate. Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget without borrowing, except for act of war declared by Congress. No more earmarks or bailouts. Replace the stimulus bill with a fiscally prudent measure. Aggressively reduce government control, size, and cost.

</p>

<strong>BLAIR COUNTY TEA PARTY ORGANIZATION GOALS</strong>
<br /><br />
Replace lawmakers who:
<br /> * Vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it?
<br /> * Are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?
<br /> * Consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?
<br /> * Want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?
<br /> * Punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?
<br /> * Admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?
<br /> * Run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?
<br /> * Want government controlled health care?
<br /> * Want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?
<br /> * Refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?
<br /> * Appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department?
<br /> * Want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?
<br /> * Want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels?
<br /> * Want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?
<br /> * Take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?

You may want to add extra markup, but I'll leave that up to you. :P
